Any good DVD Player for KDE?

I have switched from Gnome to KDE, and I am liking it...
I used to use Totem and VLC to play dvds, so , is there any good dvd players in qt?

For DVDs, I still use kaffeine most of the time, but I also use VLC and kmplayer and regular old mplayer at times, too. I dislike the direction kaffeine has taken UI-wise. It used to be a thing of beauty, and now (IMO) it's a good example of what goes wrong with some KDE apps.

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

This comes up a lot these days.
Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100), Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent), find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
Good luck.

DVD Player for X61

Can someone tell me where can I download DVD Player for my X61. I like Intervideo but need to pay. My X61 does not have DVD Player. Window Media Player cannot play some of my DVD format.

> Can someone tell me where can I download DVD Player for my X61.
Download and install the K-Lite Codec Mega Pac. It includes both a video player and dozens of codecs. It will play virtually any video file.
Best of all, it's free.

Is there a BluRay DVD player for the HP HDX 9010nr?

All laptop drives are a standard size and any SATA Blu-ray drive will fit. Remove the rear mount and bezel from you old one and mount it on the new one.
Here is a thread where the guy has done the same thing, Huffer has provided a video. It talks about a Dell and it's a little long, but it does eventually get to the part where the front bezel's are change out.

This is one from e-bay that will work.

It has been reported that the Sony Blu-ray drives are giving problems, but after reading some of these threads, it sounds more like a software problem.
When you install the drive and boot up, Windows will automatically install the driver(s) for you. HP Media Smart DVD is the only Blu-ray playing software that HP has to offer and it can be problematic.
I would recommend to buy some third party software form ArcSoft or Cyberlink. Keep in mind that Cyberlink makes the software for HP, so if you have problems with MS DVD then they may occur with Cyberlink. You can always use their trial first.
Here is a link to MS DVD, I use this on in my dv8 and it will (should) work in your Dragon.

Save it to the desk top and install it from there, not from a temporary folder. If you are using Commodo Fire Wall and/or AVG anti virus software, these have to be disabled before downloading and installing MS DVD.
If you have problems installing MS DVD, post again and there is trick to get it to install.

Can't install the Toshiba HD DVD Player for Windows 7 - 64 Bit

Notebook: Toshiba Qosmio G40 with windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
I can't install the HD DVD Player Driver from Toshiba for Windows 7 - 64 Bit 4.60.03 from 30/11/09 !
The installation will be cancel with information that the software can not be installed on this system.

Problem is that this file you have downloaded is not the player but just an update.
Usually you should be able to install player designed for Vista and later install this upgrade but, as I can see, Toshiba doesnt offer HD DVD player for Vista 64-bit.
I presume your notebook was delivered with Vista 32-bit only. Am I right about that?

Anyone knows a DVD player for TV which can play QuickTime movies /FCP movie

I am trying to find a DVD player for my television which can play a QuickTime or Final Cut Pro movie which is on a DVD. Do you know one ?
I have a FCP movie (720 x 576 ) transfed to a DVD ( UDF format ).
I have tryed to play the DVD in many DVD plyers, but they all say " unknown file format "

playing them through AppleTV, can do the trick?
yes and no. The AppleTV is a terribly crippled product. Seems to have been launched with only a few of its capabilities enabled and then it sort of got forgotten.
Before investing in an AppleTV box, be sure to read the product reviews from the MAcintosh magazines and especially the PC magazines. You want to get objective information about this weirdly limited box.

I'm not very techy, so be gentle! i am using midvd app to burn home movies to dvd from iMovie '11 version 9.0.9. It now burns the dvd but there is nothing on the disc. its not recognised by the iMac or any other dvd player.

I was using midvd app(i never had idvd) to make home movies on dvd from imovie '11 version 9.0.9 with no problems before xmas 2013. ive just tried to make a new one today and it wont work.
It seems to burn to the dvd (you can see a mark on the back of the dvd as if it has some info on it) but it wont play on imac (just says blank disc) or any other dvd player.
I have tried reinstalling midvd app and also tried 2 other dvd creator apps and the same thing happens the app says its burning and the external superdrive whirs like its doing something but it wont play.
The only thing i have done since xmas is all the updates to the operationg system and updated imovie (i didnt like the new version so went back to using the previous one)
Any ideas - i am new to all things mac!

When you export your movie from iMovie, are you choosing H.264? That is the only compression method supported by this miDVD. Youc an give this a try first:
Use Share > Export to Quicktime > Movie to Quicktime Movie > choose Options and then make your choices in Settings, etc (you can choose whatever size your video is - mine was 720 HD at that time):
If that does not work, I'd suggest going to their support site as they claim to be able to burn to DVD.... I just checked their site and here is their list of supported file types:

Nothing technical has been discussed. It is blocked because of licensing/copy protection.
I have to buy another DVD player?
The Apple TV is not a DVD player. So if you do not already own a player, then yes you will have to purchase one to view them on your TV.

Any good online resources for pages templates?

I typically use Google docs for basic word processing. Needed some more robust features from time to time, but I hate having to run Word in VM Ware and not a fan of Word anyway. Really loving Pages so far. Any good online resources for pages templates?
Trent
< Edited By Host >

There are several options for templates you can use in Pages. First, there those submitted by other users & available at iWork Community.
You'll find some links in the Resources section here.
I haven't tried these Microsoft sites for awhile, so I'm not sure if these steps are still valid, but it does give you a starting place.
Try Microsoft Office templates. to find links to many PC templates. Then comes the Microsoft trickery part. Choose the category then sub-category & then click the name of a template. Next is a page with a "download" button that takes you to the "Your operating system doesn't meet system requirements" page. All that means is that you can't use their automatic download service. Click the "download now" button in the section to manually download. Somewhere along the process was a license agreement. The file I chose downloaded as 06369101.cab. Double-clicking it launched Stuffit & resulted in a folder. I then had to change the .dot file in the folder to have the .doc extension. It then opened in Pages with only one unsupported warning.
The Mactopia site has a lot less templates to choose from, but was less involved to download. Most templates for Word will open nicely in Pages. I haven't come across one that doesn't, but that doesn't mean someone else might. The only thing to watch for is the file extension. Some Word templates have an extension other than .doc. You will still be able to use them, just change the extension to .doc in the Finder or Pages won't recognized them as Word files. Of course, you can't change just any file's extension to .doc & have Pages open it. It must be a Word document.

This may help, but it's an accessory with an extra cost:

This new Superdrive also supports DVD-Audio so you can load more music into it than a CD.

Good WM/DE for kde apps?

That is not KDE of course, It just became impossible to run in my machine, but I still like some apps that depend on some kde staff, like k3b and digikam, what would be a good host for kde applications? I would like to exclude also gnome, to much fat to have both in one in this old system. thanks for any comment.

Just use any one. The real integration is your qt/gtk theme. If you set the same qt look as the same as the gtk look, the apps will integrate. Tada!
I don't use any qt apps though, so you can always find some lightweight alternatives, like xfburn for cd/dvd burning and shotwell/fspot for photos.
I have inadvertantly found a way to have KDE apps decorated by GTK in Gnome.
I installed Arch to look at KDE 4.5, it ran decently, but I had some minor problems in the plasma-desktop that were annoying me, and so decided to check out gnome in Arch. Gnome works fine, but I noticed that Amarok, my prefered music player, was looking strange, and then I noticed it was actually using my current GTK theme. It looked fine just not what I was used to. ALso the fonts looked a little different than regular GTK apps probably because hinting was being applied twice. I can change my GTK theme and all the KDE apps change to it.
I couldn't really figure out what was going on, because I didn't think there was a way to do this except change the Qt theme to be close to GTK theme, and I hadn't installed anything for integration and my theme was the default oxygen.
Anyways the only thing that might account for it, is that when I checked my dmesg, gnome-appearance segfaults with an error in LibQtGui.so, it keeps on working and causes no other problems. I'm not sure this is the cause, but it's the only thing I can think of as an explanation. So far there are no functional problems or performance problems, and I run several kde apps, so it makes me wonder why this can't be done normally?

DVD Player for Apple TV

Recently have thrown out anything that had to do with MS as I wanted to upgrade to a Multi-media environment and got myself the latest Imac together with the Apple TV. Even rewired the complete home to Ethernet ( WIFI is fine for internet but really lacks the perfomance and reliability for streaming ). Overall very impressed with the change and understand why Apple is doing well.
The ironic thing now is that Apple TV works fine for music and photo's ( the wife loves it ) but falls a bit short on the TV part. Getting movies over the internet is not quite an option yet in Belgium as it will consume my monthly budget ( 20Gbps ) in less then a few days instead of a month, at least when one does not want to compromise on the digital quality.
The idea was to simplify the whole audio/video setup ( gone are the days of CD players, Tuners and DVD players ) and the objective is only to have the audio amplifier, flatscreen TV and of course AppleTV.
Question now is, what do I do when the wife goes to the video store around the corner and gets a video for one of these cosy nights. I was somewhat assuming that I could slot this DVD into the iMac and stream it directly over the home ethernet network to the Apple TV. Turns out that after a regular google, that I have to go to a lengthy ripping process before I can stream it or have to watch it directly on the iMac using DVD player ( really ruins the cosy part of the night )
Would love to hear any suggestions on this topic. Ideally I would like to stream movies on apple TV directly on the DVD drive of the iMac.
P.S: If we get this working, my brother will buy the same set-up.

Sorry to have to tell you: This kind of coziness needs some planning ahead. Watch the movie today that you ripped yesterday. There's no way to stream DVDs to ATV.
And for completeness: You're not supposed to rip rental DVDs (though I'm not overly familiar with Belgian law). However I don't think anyone will prosecute you if you rip the DVD for one-time viewing ...

DVD player for a monitor

I am considering buying a mac mini, yet cannot afford the cost of a new monitor. I have plenty of spare portable DVD players (gifts), so I was wondering if the player is able to be used as a monitor for the mac mini. If so can anyone tell me how to do that, and if not, can non apple monitors be used as the Mac Mini monitor?

I haven't seen any portable DVD players with a video input that would be needed to use as a computer display. Even if one did have a video input, the screen resolution would be too low.
Any computer display with a VGA or DVI input will work.
